The auditorium of the First Academy of Magic is huge beyond anyone's imagination. Except for the vacant high platform in the center, other places can meet people's needs from eating to dancing, singing, watching operas, etc. According to the estimates of the students of the Second Academy of Magic, the auditorium of the First Academy of Magic alone is probably much larger than the playground of their academy.
In addition to the indoor auditorium, the open space on the playground around the auditorium is also outrageously vast. Many students and entertainers from Melinder invited by the royal family have picked up a venue to perform there.
These people have no way to enter the venue, but performing in this vast playground also has its own benefits, that is, all the income from the performance can be kept for themselves. The upper-class nobles of the Hawke Empire have always been generous. In their view, silver coins seem to be very unworthy of their status, so even the steel coins they give as rewards are glittering. Well... the only drawback is that there are quite a few artists in the periphery. Wherever they look, there are at least dozens of stalls competing for business with them. This shows how big the playground of the First Magic Academy is.
However, the students of the Second Magic Academy do not seem to be very jealous. Anyway, the current performance of the First Magic Academy is stabilized by the Second Magic Academy. How much money is it? This is an academy to compete for magic strength, not for you to fight for wealth!
When the dance music sounded in the auditorium, the annual meeting was officially started. Many young single nobles began to look for their dance partners in the hall, and those nobles who had already married and established families also danced with their wives or mistresses.
Halson looked at Irene with a gloomy expression, then at Regnar who was standing nearby chatting and laughing with the half-elf, and finally snorted coldly. He took a few steps forward, but was held back by Congellas.
"What are you going to do?" Kangelas couldn't help but ask looking at Halson's expression.
"What else can we do?" Halson said coldly: "Invite Erin to dance."
"..." Kangelas didn't make too much of a fuss about this. Halson was well-known in Merindl for his lustful and arrogant nature. When Annelotte became famous before, he was ready to make a move and wanted to have sex with this countless The top goddess who appears in every man's dream comes to have a night of supper. Moreover, he thought that with his family background, even if he played with this woman, it would not be a big deal.
But his father gave him a stern warning because of this. This was not because his father was afraid of Regnar.
But because Joffrey, the great prince of the empire at that time, was also one of Annelotte's main suitors. The competition between Regnar and Joffrey was already full of excitement, and his father would never dare to let Halson wade into this muddy water again. Because Harsen's family would not dare to offend the royal family no matter how arrogant they were.
So in the end, Harson could only swallow this breath silently. Let the notorious Regnar surround Annelotte like an idiot.
If Annelotte can still be tolerated by Harson, then if the extra Erin is taken over by Regner, Harson will be a little unbearable.
In terms of wealth and background, his family has been Duke Merlin's retainers since a long time ago, and what is he, Regnar? It is said that it is just a mouse that grew up in a smelly ditch. When he came to the Hawke Empire alone to work hard, how could he be compared with an established family with rich heritage like his
In terms of appearance, Halson is a handsome man, and because he often practices martial arts, he is taller and stronger than Regnar. Compared with a thin-looking man like Regnar, Halson is undoubtedly more manly.
In terms of talent, it is said that Regnar is just a level seventeen assassin. He, Halson, is now a level 17 fighter after all. Although this guy is six or seven years older than Regnar, these things have been ignored by Halson. Moreover, assassins are naturally afraid of professions like warriors that like close combat and can be confrontational. This Regnar is said to be the strongest assassin in the mainland. But if he really faced Harson, he didn't think that Regnar was his opponent.
"This Regnar has been arrogant for a long time in Melinder recently. Now, I want to slap him twice." Halson said lightly.
"Don't say I didn't advise you." Kangelas let go of his hand and said with some seriousness: "If someone really gets slapped in the face, that person can only be you. Don't forget, Reg Na was once among the top eight in the Empire Competition."
"Who cares about that kind of entertainment-based competition? As long as Lady Annelotte doesn't interfere, I'm still confident in dealing with an assassin who only stabs people in the dark." Halson shrugged, and then said to Regna and Irene walked over.
And very coincidentally, Annelotte also left because the annual meeting about the magic academy was about to begin. At this time, there was only one Regnar left, and Halson had no scruples.
"This is my mistake." Regnar said with some apology: "Speaking of which, I haven't bought any decent clothes for Irene in the past few years. It's really shameful..."
"Brother Regnar, don't say that." Irene smiled gently, and she took Regnar's hand: "If it weren't for you, brother, Irene might still be an ugly maid washing dishes in a tavern. ! The reason Irene is where she is today is actually because of you, brother... Irene… Irene is very contented."
"Oh my god!" Regnar was so moved when he heard what Eileen said, but Halson's voice suddenly rang out.
"This beautiful lady, may I dance with you?" Halson said to Eileen with a smile that he thought was charming. He had half-long gray-black hair and thick trimmed sideburns. It had to be a little sloppy, because Halson felt that it could highlight the man's wild and uninhibited temperament. In fact, there are indeed many civilian girls who are attracted by his temperament. As for those who are not attracted... Halson does not mind playing some heavy-flavored violent games occasionally.
He held his chin with his right hand, stroking his beard and said to Irene in a casual tone: "Tonight is a great night, isn't it? If I can dance with a beautiful woman like you, I think this annual meeting will become even more memorable.”
"..." Regnar frowned, but said nothing. He had long expected that someone would come to invite Irene to dance - this girl has become so beautiful now, and it is impossible not to have a man's heart flutter. But Regnar can't fall out with anyone just because he's invited, right? So he decided to watch from the sidelines and let Erin handle the matter on her own.
"This..." Erin's little face turned red when she was suddenly approached by a strange man. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Halson, but stammered: "This... this gentleman... I am really sorry... I...I can't dance..."
"Miss, you are joking." The expected rejection did not shake Halson, but Regner's silence only further boosted his confidence. He was now convinced that Regnar would not dare to step forward at this time, so Halson said half-jokingly: "Dancing is just a very basic way of communication between nobles. A beautiful lady like you must be often subjected to Invitations from other men. How could you not dance?"
"I..." Irene looked even more embarrassed, but smart Irene also understood that once Regnar got involved in this kind of thing, there might be conflicts. So the half-elf could only say reluctantly: "I'm really sorry, but I really can't dance. And... I was burned on my face before, but I was actually just an ugly person..."
"It doesn't matter if you can't jump." Looking at Irene's cute face with a blushing face, Halson felt more and more excited. He had already made up his mind to capture this woman tonight. This guy gracefully stretched out his right hand: "I happen to know some dancing skills. If you don't mind, miss, let me teach you!"
"..." Eileen was silent, because she only knew such a reason to refuse other people's invitations. As for other reasons for prevarication... Simple Erin really couldn't think of any, because she never bothered to think about how to reject others.
But the half-elf also didn't think about accepting Halson's invitation. So, Erin could only shake her head stiffly, and then said to Halson sincerely and apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I... I can't dance with you... Well... I can't even learn to dance."
"I really didn't expect that Harsendran's invitation would be rejected." Harsen's attitude began to turn cold. He glanced at Regnar with some contempt, and then asked: "Can I ask the reason? What?"
"I'm sorry..." Erin bowed to Halson, but had no further explanation.
"I don't need to apologize." Halson's eyes were fixed on Erin like a poisonous snake, and then said: "What if I force you to dance with me?"
Halson stretched out his right hand, preparing to grab the shameless half-elf.
But another strong hand stopped him.
"Have you finally stopped being a coward?" Halson looked at Regnar with a joking expression on his face: "I thought you didn't even dare to fart!"
"..." Regnar tried hard to restrain his anger. In fact, he had already wanted to stand up and slap this idiot twice. But considering that today was really not the right time to cause trouble, Regner remained silent.
But being silent doesn't mean that Regnar has no temper. If Regnar doesn't stand up even after Irene has been bullied like this, I'm afraid Regnar will feel that he should slap himself twice.
"I'll give you one last chance, get out now!" Regnar said, suppressing his anger.
Halson was not immediately angry. He poured in power calmly. As a seventeenth-level warrior, his power was naturally greater than Regnar's. He easily shook off his arm, then moved his shoulders, and then said to Regnar with a smile: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen you just now. I wonder who you are?"
"Regna." Regnar said calmly. Judging from Halson's attitude, he knew that there would be another scene today.
"It turns out to be Mr. Dark Elegy, the famous assassin of the Hawke Empire." Halson pretended to be very surprised. He looked at Regner provocatively, and then said: "I am..."
"Halsendran, I know who you are." Regnar interrupted Halson coldly. He looked at Halson, who was taller than him, and said: "Get out of here, I won't I’ll say it a third time.”
"I will not leave without inviting this beautiful lady." Halson shrugged nonchalantly, and then tried to reach out to pinch Erin's chin frivolously.
But Regnar struck at lightning speed. He grabbed Harsen's hand with his left hand and punched Harsen in the face with his right hand.
